Fm will you , won’t you , will you , Em Fm won’t you , will you join the dance? will you , won’t you , will you , Em Fm won’t you , won’t you join the dance? "you can really have notion how delightful it will be when they take us up and throw us , with the lobsters , out to sea!" but the snail replied , "too far , too far!" and gave a look askance - said he thanked the whiting kindly , but he would not join the dance . would not , could not , would not , could not , would not join the dance . would not , could not , would not , could not , could not join the dance . "what matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied , "there is another shore , you know , upon the other side . the further off from england the nearer is to france - then turn not pale , beloved snail , but come and join the dance . will you , won’t you , will you , won’t you , will you join the dance? will you , won’t you , will you , won’t you , won’t you join the dance?
